The buying and selling a home is a process that requires keeping up to date, managing and presenting a lot of documentation. There are several procedures that must be carried out during and after the purchase and sale process.
We list them all below.
Essential procedures during the purchase and sale of a home
When you reach the negotiation phase and the corresponding closing of the operation, you will need to take care of carrying out the following procedures:
- Check the status of charges and ownership of the property in the Property Registry.
- Find out the mortgage situation with the financial institution.
- Check the status of the charges: the payment of taxes (IBI) and fees with the City Council, the community of owners and possible urban or administrative impacts.
- Process and provide the necessary documentation required for the purchase and sale, such as the habitability certificate, the energy efficiency certificate, IBI receipts and the latest utility receipts.
- Writing, adaptation to current regulations and signing of the corresponding legal documents (deposit contract, private purchase contract, etc.).
- Contact with the financial institution to provide them with all the necessary documentation.
- Management of possible cancellations of charges such as mortgages, seizures and resolutory conditions.
- Registration of ownership: inheritances and usufructs.
- Corrections at the land registry office.
- Processing the NIE for non-residents.
- Preparation of the file and accompaniment of both parties at the notary’s office for the signing of the public deed of sale.
Essential procedures after the sale
The sale of a home does not end with the signing of the deed. Otherwise, the operation must be closed with some pending procedures.
- Registration of the public deed in the Property Registry.
- Settlement of the tax on Patrimonial Transmissions, Documented Legal Acts and IRPF withholding procedures for non-residents.
- Settlement of the municipal capital gains tax at the City Council.
- Registration and change of ownership at the Cadastre office.
- Management with supply companies for registrations and changes of ownership of meters.
